What LLD37-Long Haul Is Built For
LLD37-Long Haul is a radial drive-axle truck tyre designed for highway operations where consistent performance, wet grip and extended tread life are required. The tread pattern is engineered for stability and braking on wet surfaces, with a uniform tread depth of 22.0 mm across all sizes. It is intended for use on long-haul trucks operating primarily on paved routes, including freight haulers, intercity coaches and delivery fleets. Five ply ratings are available across eight size combinations, from 11R22.5 to 285/75R24.5, supporting load indices from 144/142 to 147/144 and speed symbol M. The tyre carries no off-road or severe winter markings, and is not intended for use on unsealed roads or mixed-surface duty.

Problems It Solves
- Highway drive tyres failing early due to poor wet grip or inconsistent tread wear across sizes
- Fleets using multiple drive patterns for different vehicle types, increasing stock complexity and fitting time
- Inconsistent load capacity across sizes leading to over-specification or under-specification
- Lack of uniform tread depth across sizes causing uneven wear and reduced casing life
- Difficulty in sourcing a single radial drive pattern that covers multiple vehicle classes on paved routes
Who It Is For
- Tyre importers sourcing drive-axle tyres for highway fleets in Europe, South America and Asia
- Wholesale distributors supplying long-haul truck operators with a standardised radial pattern
- Fleet managers replacing drive tyres on highway-only trucks with a consistent tread life profile
- Government tender buyers requiring tyres for public transport or freight vehicles operating on paved roads
- Distributors who need one pattern to cover multiple vehicle types within a single long-haul category
Application Scenarios
- Long-haul freight trucks running daily between major distribution hubs on paved highways
- Inter-city coach fleets operating on national motorways with minimal stop-and-go traffic
- Delivery vans and parcel trucks on high-speed freight corridors with consistent load patterns
- Fleets that require a single drive-axle pattern for all highway-based vehicles across multiple regions
- Operators replacing worn drive tyres with a consistent pattern that matches existing fleet fitments
Technical Features
- Radial construction with uniform 22.0 mm tread depth across all listed sizes
- Tread pattern designed for stability and braking on wet highways
- Load index and pressure values matched exactly to the size and ply rating in the size table
- Speed symbol M indicates a maximum speed of 100 km/h, suitable for highway use
- Standard rim sizes of 8.25 and 9.00 match common truck wheel widths for 11R22.5, 11R24.5 and 295/75R22.5 fitments

Where This Pattern Wins and Where It Does Not
Compared With Off-road or mixed-surface drive tyres
LLD37-Long Haul is not designed for unsealed roads; it lacks stone rejection features and reinforced sidewalls, which can lead to early casing failure on rough terrain
Compared With Tread patterns with deeper grooves for mud or snow
This pattern has a shallower tread depth and no winter markings, making it unsuitable for snow or mud performance
Compared With Other long-haul drive tyres with higher speed symbols
Speed symbol M limits use to 100 km/h; a higher speed symbol would be required for sustained highway speeds above that limit
Use Guide
- Match ply rating to your actual axle load, not to the heaviest tyre available - overspecifying increases cost and reduces ride comfort
- Check the standard rim listed against your wheel: 8.25 for 11R22.5 and 11R24.5, 9.00 for 295/75R22.5
- Inflate to the pressure shown for your load in the size table; dual and single fitment pressures differ
- Rotate drive positions before irregular wear sets in, particularly on fleets with one-way load patterns
- Inspect tread depth regularly; 22.0 mm is the norm, but wear may vary based on load and driving habits
LLD37-Long Haul Buying Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
We load by full container. A 40HQ of 11R22.5 or 295/75R22.5 typically fills at container weight rather than volume, so the practical minimum is one container. Mixed loads across sizes and patterns are accepted.
What is the lead time?
It depends on whether the size is in stock at the plant or has to be produced. We confirm current availability with the plant at the time of quotation rather than quoting a standard figure.
Which sizes are available?
11R22.5 in 14PR and 16PR, 11R24.5 in 14PR and 16PR, 295/75R22.5 in 14PR and 16PR, and 285/75R24.5 in 14PR and 16PR. Full load index, rim and pressure data for each is in the size table on this page.
Is this tyre suitable for wet roads?
Yes. It is designed for good braking and grip on wet roads, suitable for highway use in rainy conditions.
Can you supply DOT or ECE marked tyres?
Marking requirements vary by destination. Tell us the import market and we confirm what marking the plant can supply on that size before you place the order.
What warranty do you give?
One year against manufacturing defect on all tyres we supply, with claims handled by us directly. Cargo transportation insurance is provided on the shipment itself.
Can you ship a mixed container with other patterns?
Yes. Most of our customers load one container across several patterns and sizes, which is the main reason to buy through us rather than from a single plant.
